The Child Welfare Court Improvement Project ('CIP') is a federally-funded initiative that supports the Family Court's mandate to promote the safety, permanence and well-being of abused and neglected children.
In recognition of the integral role courts play in charting the course for children who are the subject
of abuse, neglect, foster care, termination of parental rights and adoption proceedings, the project provides resources and technical assistance to enhance and promote innovation in
court operations and practices. Major areas of focus include:
New York State's Court Improvement Project began in 1994 and was administered from its inception through the fall of 2006 by the
Permanent Judicial Commission on Justice for Children.
That legacy continues as the Commission remains a key partner in the Project's current implementation.
